In an ideal world all that would be true.Nigeria technology-wise is not there yet. Amebo's loitering time is not advanced enough. Nigeria needs surveillance UAVs with more advanced surveillance capabilities now. The issues surrounding distant places like Gamboru-Ngala , Doran-Bama, and the Niger Delta will not be solved by the current UAV Amenities without enhanced surveillance assets. The N.N. which technology wise is at the forefront of the Armed Forces recognized this,it is this belief that led to the procurement of the Falcon surveillance system . 2 Likes |

giles14:It is extremely important that Nigeria acquires these UAVs for the NAF now. This is not a question of National pride but one of National pragmatism. Currently Nigeria as advanced as her surveillance assets are relative to Africa needs them to be enhanced as an immediate priority . The Minister of communication it appears has good intentions but time is not on Nigeria 's side. 2 Likes |

rka1: My source was right after all. Additional surveillance assets are more than welcome. Although, my initial sentiment was we were going to go for the CH-4s instead. Long endurance flights by the UAVs, target identification followed by bombings by JF-17s make sense to me. |

giles14:who cares about home made when your airforce don't even have the ones made by/in other countries. It's a step at a time.let them acquire uavs or any weapon from benin/togo i don't care. as long as they serve the purpose for which they were bought and are protecting the nation,no quams. The day our leaders know how to build a nation and protect the citizens,that is the day w'll see made in Nigeria nigerian. |

Henry240: It's all beginning to come together, hopefully. But as you know, with naija, who knows where the path will lead. I am also a bit curious about the 4 pilots going to Egypt. Is it to train on a more advanced platform? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 2:12pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
pacretus: I do care deeply about home-made, however i do not believe we should sacrifice security just for home-made. My assessment is we require a minimum of 5 UAVs per region. Infact in regions such as the North-East and South-South a minimum of 10 MALE UAVs are required. In defence manufacturing, the military is trying to invent the wheel, that's something the private sector would not do. I'm pretty optimistic that before the year runs out, we would all see good quality land based systems( APCs and FAVs) from the private sector. 2 Likes |

rka1: I have faith in our CAS S.B Abubakar delivering. He walks the walks, from his current antecedents as the CAS it's obvious that he knows his onions unlike the non-entity and complete scalawag Alex Badeh, who could not even safe-guard his village and was more interested in the NAF floating an airline. The only issue we would have with S.B Abubakar is if funds aren't released to him, i have a strong conviction to be hopeful. |

rka1: Egypt flies F-7s, if we actually want to train pilots on an advanced platform, only 4 pilots seems like a waste of money. I believe the 4 pilots going to Egypt are F-7 pilots. |

But again that we want to make our own weapons doesn't mean we shouldn't buy what others have.BTW how are we sure the airforce isn't working something out for gulma or amebo uav. Is only now we are starting to have a military.hopefully w'll get to that level we all so much want. |
